all three of my kids have worked food service
my son in a supper club that was good but is now out of business.
he learned steaks and fish fries and how they jaz up a lot of what they serve but it is basically Sysco or one of about 3 food delivery services.

having worked in the kitchen of the supper club there were already a bunch of things he was like going out for them wasn't really worth it.

he had a few bbq places he thought were ok , well since I started smoking meats and he has been enjoying the home smoked meats he went with some friends the other night and he was underwhelmed.

realizing the bar for bbq is so low much like the supper club stuff was he now wants to find a really good bbq place.

he noticed when he pulled up to the place he went the other night with friends , on his motorcycle with his visor open that he could not smell the smoke.
then was like ahh it's ok but nothing special.
so he has decided , you should be able to smell a good bbq place from outside as you get off your bike and take your helmet off or it likely isn't worth going in.

what are your thoughts on that , I think he has a point.

also , what is the best bbq place you can think of , he wants to ride to good bbq places and try them. anything near WI would be great but if there is a worth it destination BBQ place he also wants to know those for longer rides.

Can't say if they are good or not but there is a place in Dundee WI, been there once was OK if you ask me but I'm not a fan of BBQ stuff myself.

Dundee Mountain BBQ and Brew House

They have had issues lately with the Gov't shutting them down for their smokers.
Not a health issue but a safety issue as I under stand it.

I guess they were getting a new smoker as a result.

I don't know if they are open now or not.

Big Guys BBQ on Wi State highway 35. Between Hudson and Houlton. I can smell it when i go by. Wife goes there.

I smelled smoke in a restaurant once. Then the fire dept showed up and watched it burn down.....

You want good BBQ you need to head south

Some of them smoke all night to be eaten during the day. All the smoke might be from midnight to 8am. They are funny about over smoking too I think. I guess there is a thing of too much smoke too.

that doesn't sound like a very good fire department if they just watched it burn down , what is the point in coming at all if you are just going to watch it burn down.
